Cardiff follows Europe/London and changes with daylight saving. That seasonal shift matters when you compare it with a city that stays on one offset all year.
Prayer times here use the Muslim World League method. For congregational prayer, follow a nearby mosque’s announcement.
Time & prayer in Cardiff
Local time in Cardiff falls within the Europe/London zone. The clock and date at the top of this page update live to this timezone, so the readings stay accurate wherever you are.
Sitting at a latitude of about 51.5° in the northern hemisphere, Cardiff's day length swings widely, with long summer evenings and short winter afternoons. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.
The prayer times shown for Cardiff are calculated using the Muslim World League. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn. For the full picture you can open the monthly timetable, the live prayer clock, or the Qibla direction for Cardiff from the tools on this site.
